All You Need to Know About Tar and Gravel Roofs

A tar and gravel roof is a roofing type that is also commonly referred to as conventional built up roofing. In general, this roofing type is budget-friendly and extremely durable with an average roof lasting in excess of thirty years. What’s more, if your Portland home has a flat roof then a tar and gravel roof could be the perfect choice for you. At Dry Valley Roofing LLC, our tar and gravel roofs are usually made of anything from three to five layers. This will always include an asphalt base sheet, a hot tar level and will almost always contain a layer of roofing felt. One of the key points that is often forgotten in the tar and gravel roof installation process is the role of loose gravel. At Dry Valley Roofing LLC, we will guarantee that an even layer of gravel will be kept on the roof at all times while also making sure that some of this gravel remains loose at all times to ensure that it is not punctured by any foot-traffic that may take place. Finally, a top layer of bitumen and extra top mineral may also be added, while light colored gravel may be used to cover the dark layers effectively. While there is no doubt about the long-lasting qualities of tar and gravel roofs, the fact of the matter is that re-sealing will ensure that your roof will be leak-free for as long as possible.
